7 WWE wrestlers who could potentially do well in MMA

#4 - Dolph Ziggler

The Kent University standout could employ his wrestling skills well in an MMA fight

Fun fact: Did you know that Dolph Ziggler has been employed by the WWE for 13 years? That's right - he signed with the company in 2004. Fancy that.

As you all likely know by now, Dolph Ziggler was a record-setting amateur wrestler for Kent State University in Ohio. Though his records have since been surpassed, 121 wins are still pretty damn impressive. Judging from his pro-wrestling style, I imagine he was a deft and scrappy amateur wrestler in his heyday. I picture him as the kind of guy who could shoot in for a take-down so quickly that his opponents wouldn't even know what hit them, then they'd be on their back before their brains could even register that they were on the ground.

As we've learned from guys like Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, amateur wrestling experience can be a huge advantage in MMA. Couple that with Ziggler's speed and never-say-die spirit, and you've got some serious potential for success.

And hey, with rumours buzzing about that he's on his way out the door, who knows - maybe he could have a cup of coffee in Bellator or something.
